SWP...Legend said:Let me start by saying i don't mind mancini at all and think he's done a good job so it's not a mancini out post, i like to stick by the managers. The point i will make though is that the tactics and substitutions were wrong in my opinion. When Utd took Rooney off that should have been our chance to seize the initiative, but we took off one of Adebayor who's a goal threat and pretty much the only one that could hold the ball upfront. Fair enough Evra contained Johnson but i would have rather swapped Bellamy to Evras wing and let Johno have a go at Neville but thats me. Viera well... past it, lack of drive in my opinion useless for us, great player in his time but not now far too slow... and to take of by far and away our man of the match De Jong tired or not left me puzzled, he basically took a right winger off and put a centre mid on leaving Onuoha against two until SWP came on. Strange decisions i thought. SWP did alright when he came on though to be fair.
Plus points
Onouha - had a good game, that right back spot should be his
De jong - was fantastic yet again, he may not be as effective in games against lower opposition but when your in a fight and a tough game, my God the man fights for you

This all day for me SWP
PLUS Scoles had the easiest game in his life he was aloud to stroll around all day the old bastard should have been knackered by half time.
If Johnson had switched rat boy would have a new arsehole today.
Every game we have gone out to win we have won playing for draws is shit they were there for a 4-0 but we were not committed to the win

Even my 11 year old daughter said to me why are City throwing evryone up front!!! you could see it coming.... well everyone except our over paid stars. Just my opinion.
